Rock Bottom: Gay Men & Meth Jay Corcoran, US, 2006 6:00pm

Why do they do it?  Why are so many gay men—men in committed relationships, men with good jobs and good friends—falling prey to crystal meth? These men, who seem to have it all, are risking everything for sex: group sex, unsafe sex, crystal sex. Rock Bottom takes the audience through possibly the last closed door into gay men’s sexual lives: the dark world of crystal meth and sexual addiction. This groundbreaking documentary follows the journeys of seven gay men struggling with meth addiction and recovery against the backdrop of an emerging second wave of HIV infection.
